Reply to TIL that Prince is credited for “discovering” Carmen Electra when she began her career as a singer after moving to Minneapolis where they met and he produced her self-titled debut studio album, released in 1993. by puzzledplatypus
Prince was a great music producer if you don’t count all the failures.

Yeah it’s as bad as you think. Even worse it’s done because the Chinese military is funding these projects for the Canadian Universities.

Ms. Fletcher said UBC recognizes the “global political landscape” has changed and the university is now aware “some research collaborations may pose potential national-security risks.

Reply to comment by pseudopad in iPhone crash detection feature makes 100 false calls by speckz
The article say 23,919 calls but it’s actually just 919. A small little whoopsie there.
https://japannews.yomiuri.co.jp/society/general-news/20230129-87465/
The AI probably took Jan 23 and added it to 919.

The number is actually 919 not 23,919. It’s a hell of a typo.

Yes they were from regular calls.
The number from crash detection is 919. 134 were false calls.

The 24000 weren’t from iPhone crash detection. They don’t give those numbers. They were the total calls.

You see it a lot around here. This generation has convinced themselves that they work more than previous ones and that they’ve got it a lot harder. Not realizing they work about 10 hours a week less than previous generations and usually at work that is much easier.

Yep that seems about right. Social media is much more about engaging people with content than engaging people with other people anymore.

It’s for this reason it was used for coins and other items before that so I’m not sure “real use” is accurate here.

It gets lost in the pile of other 90s sitcoms because well…there were a lot of funny campy 90s sitcoms. You can go back and find another dozen or so like it and fall in love with some great funny shows and characters.
